How can I restore this air cleaner tin? EDIT: New Wall Clock!

[miller]

My ex-girlfriends father gave me this air cleaner ID tin, and its kinda banged up but I want to restore it, how would I go about getting the dents off of it?

Gonna need some hammer and dolly work with that one...And care must be taken as to not hurt the finish as well....Good luck...That's the only way I see it happening.

What Cooter said. The upside is its aluminum and easy to work, the downside is repairing the paint. All of the dents can be worked out with excellent results but the graphics are another thing. For what its worth Jack's Auto Parts has repops for $40 as do others. Good luck.

I agree - Anything you do is going to cost you more in time with less than 100% results.

Hang it up in the garage, and get a repo

Agreed. Even better, sell the current one as "wall art", rare, one of one for $50 and buy the new one for $40.

Well if I am not going to fix the tin, I figured I should at least make it something usefull.

When Gary Rollins and the RTS crew were still around I remember they had a Hemi air cleaner for a wall clock.

I'll do that with my old cover, too! Awesome idea!!
